In regards to gmail imap, I have found that it is much better to set the filters within gmail itself (especially if using that outlook dog), so that could be dropped form high priority when the plan is done.

So for gmail IMAP, can barca:
1. sync all headers?
2. download fuill emails locally and sync?
3. If I move a mail between folders locally, will it sync back at gmail.
4. If I create/delete/alter a folder locally, will a gmail tag be created?

If it can do all this, then I would suggest that there should not be a problem using gmail imap as long as the filters are set at gmail level (which is best anyway).

I'm sorry I not aware of any changes in the areas you posted about in the previous post in this thread. (First two are definitely planned but dependant on substantial inner changes which are not yet finished.)

Fixes were mostly about mailbox access speed, resource consumption, and various annoying bugs (off the top of my head I think it was account replication, options reset, and some more... they were not published so it's just what I remember).

None of which address the real function issues (message edit, imap support, inabilility to do a number of things that other clients commonly do). As I said elsewhere, even if Slaven actually does do this release, the most likely thing is that Poco development and support is effectively dead.

I'm a pretty patient sort of person but I have to agree that I am seriously looking at alternatives because there has been so little driving Poco forwards especially on IMAP support. I am looking at Thunderbird, it's a ugly little sucker but it works.

You can always addon some new themes to enhance TB's appearance.

On the other hand, IMAP has it's pros and cons.

A little feature that goes unnoticed is the fact that you can install dictionaries in TB. Something that hasn't been looked after by Poco/Barca for quite a few years. Then again, if you use GMail that problem is non existent.

All around, Poco/Barca are well accomplished programs.
Easy to install and then backup/restore with all user predefined settings. It's fast to load with expedient response time for all it's functions with very little ressource usage.
